Very proud!

One of my rituals on a Friday is to check the different challenge blog to know what I will be creating at the weekend. It usually give me a full day of brainstorming so that I have an idea of what I will do when I enter my den. It was with amazement that I discovered I had been picked as a VIP for the CAS-ual Friday challenge of last week for this card

AND I had been picked as a showcase for the Less Is More challenge for this card.

It was such a surprise as so many entries for both challenges were so gorgeous, I never dreamt in a million years I would be picked. Of course thinking this might be my lucky day I played the Euromillion but my chance didn't last long enough and I didn't win the £46 millions... Maybe next time...

During my search for a challenge to keep me out of trouble this weekend I came across the Play Date Cafe blog with its colour combination. I decided to take part and created a card following this colour combo:

Here is my take on it:

I do like the result although the colours are very pale compare to what I have been creating lately. This is one of the great thing about challenges: they take you out of your comfort zone. All the stamps used are from Waltzing Mouse. I hope this inspired you!

This is gorgeous Emilie, so very pretty! Great use of our colours too. Sorry it's taken me so long to pop by, but thanks for playing along with us over at The Play Date Cafe. Hope you play along again with us soon!
